As the Deer

As the Deer

As the Deer is a well-known praise and worship song by Martin Nystrom. Written in 1984, this song is based on Psalm 42:1;[1]

"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, o panteth my soul after thee, O God."

Lyrics

As the deer panteth for the water
    So my soul longeth after you
You alone are my heart's desire
    And I long to worship you

You alone are my strength, my shield
     To you alone may my spirit yield
 You alone are my heart's desire
     And I long to worship you

You're my friend and you are my brother
    Even though you are a king
And I love you more than any other
    So much more than anything

Chorus

I want You more than gold or silver
    Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
    And the apple of my eye

Chorus

Alternate New Verses (by anonymous) based on further meditation of Psalm 42 and the original tune. These are being used in a few communities in northeastern Massachusetts:

Based on Psalm 42:5:

When my soul is weighed down with sorrow,
    I put all my trust in You.
All my hope is in You, my Savior,
    So I lift my praise to You.

Chorus

Based on Psalm 42:8:

Day by day You send forth your love,
    And it waters all the earth;
Night by night Your song within me
    is my prayer and my rebirth.

Chorus
